A squatter must be able to prove that the property has been occupied for ten continuous years and that they have acted as owner for the duration of that period.

If you do so then you are committing a crime. Once you have received notice from the Land Registry that squatters are making a claim for possession you should apply for an <a href=\"http:\/\/hmctsformfinder.justice.gov.uk\/HMCTS\/GetForm.do?court_forms_id=379\">Interim Possession Order<\/a> (IPO). Within a few days you will receive confirmation of your application from the court along with some documents you must give to the squatters within 48 hours. If they do not then leave the property within 24hours and do not stay away for at least 12 months they can be sent to prison.To then regain possession of your property you must make a claim through theIPO form.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; 0 0 1 143 819 Property Data MEdia LLP 6 1 961 14.0 &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 10]&gt; \/* Style Definitions *\/table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:\"\";mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;mso-para-margin:0cm;mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;}&lt;![endif]--><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">After two years,if you do not make an effort to reclaim your property and the same squatters apply for possession again they you will not be able to reject, so act fast if you want results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"line-height: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>What to do if you suspect squatters are in your area<\/b><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; 0 0 1 35 200 Property Data MEdia LLP 1 1 234 14.0 &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 9]&gt; &lt;![endif]--><!-- [if gte mso 10]&gt; \/* Style Definitions *\/table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:\"\";mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;mso-para-margin:0cm;mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;}&lt;![endif]--><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If you see someone breaking in to a property or think that someone may be squatting, call the police.
